What's wrong with saying yes sir, saying yes ma'am
A hard day's work
Showing up pretty much on time
What's wrong with waiting your turn
Paying your dues
Keeping your word
Looking a man right in the eye

You wear your pants down around your knees
But that don't mean a thing to me

Just put a little old back in the new school
Get that working man back on the bar stool
Just 'cause something's hip
Don't make it cool
Let's put a little old back in the new school

I don't mind some attitude
A rebel heart
Hell, I got one too
But you still gotta walk the line
I don't care what you listen too
How you wear hair
You can paint blue
Hey it takes all kinds

Johnny rocked and Willie rolled
They just did with a lot more soul

Just put a little old back in the new school
Get that working man back on the bar stool
Just 'cause something's hip
Don't make it cool
Let's put a little old back in the new school

My Grandpa just turned 83
I hope some of him rubbed off on me
He's still cooler than I'll ever be

Just put a little old back in the new school
Get that working man back on the bar stool
Just 'cause something's hip
Don't make it cool
Let's put a little old back in the new school

Yeah I might be young
But I ain't no fool
Let's put a little old back in the new school
The new school
